6 INTERPRETING SCALES AND

ARPEGGIOS

SCALE

Scales are just a row of notes following a set pattern. There are many types
of scales and modes, but we will just consider two of these – major and
minor scale. Both scales are composed of eight notes written either in an
ascending or descending manner.

Major Scale

Now try this scale in the key of C (ascending). Use finger no. 1 in playing lower do and fa

Then try this scale in descending order in the key of C. Use finger no. 3 in playing la and mi.

Minor Scale

Ascending A minor (relative minor of C major). Use finger no. 1 in playing lower la and re.

Descending A minor (relative minor of C major). Use finger no. 3 in playing fa and do.

ARPEGGIO

An arpeggio is a type of broken chord. Other types of broken chords

one octave.
